Rent expenses as per the unadjusted trial balance is $25,200 which includes the rent expense for November. But, On November 1, it has paid $7,200 in advance for next 3 months and it was debited to prepaid studio rent account. Thus, the monthly rent expense paid for last two months of Year 1 would be $2,400($7,2003 months). The total rent expense for January to October would be $22,800($25,200$2,400). Hence, the rent expense for the last 10 months would be $2,280($22,80010Months). Therefore, it is identified that the rent expense has been increased by $120($2,400$2,280) in November and December.

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the average monthly insurance expense for January to July:

ParticularsAmount ($)
 Insurance expense for 12 months ended $3,516
 Less: Insurance expense for August through December ($300×5Months)$1,500
 Insurance expense for January through July$2,016
